nice, i'm a big fan of wing-less skylines... nice car,


theres some questions that you should ask yourself to help figure out where you want to start..

1..
are you going to track the car? if so... a lot or a little ?
2..
you want to make big hp? over 500 is a big hp # to me...
3..
or do you want a nice car just to drive around town?

nice car

[melissachequ]

Thanks guys! And yes, I too am a big fan of wingless as well!

Hmm...

1. I may try out auto crossing it, see how that goes.. if I enjoy doing it then I'll stay at it... but its not high on my priority list.

2. Yes, I do want to make it big horsepower... he already dyno'd it at just about 400hp.

3. I want it to be a nice car to drive around town, but just because its nice doesnt mean it cant be super cast and also a track car

Congrads, lady.

Take care of it.

I race my "sky" all the time. Kills your tire but it worth it. It's such an amazing car on a track. You defenatly have to take it to proper race track (not a parking lot for AutoX), then you will appriciate it even more.

nice!

glad you didnt go with the pos one that needed major bodywork

[melissachequ]

haha I'm glad too!

Welcome to the club. Now that is a better gtr than the one you wanted earlier. Clean, and close to stock. Now the only question remains are you happy with the current setup or do you want more? This of course will be dictated on your funds..... Anywaz, Congrats and enjoy.

Wow I love White GTRS!!! Nice paint job

Hopefully will see you in some meets this summer I'm going to victoria to visit my family soon, I'll try and plan it around when their is a meet on the island.

white FTW, looks good. my only critisizm is a sony system in such an expensive custom enclosure. why not go with a higher end speaker/amp combo (i'm not blaming you bucause as far as i can tell you bought it this way, i just don't understand the people who will spend ~$2000 on a custom enclosure and only ~$300 on a sub/amp combo)

Same reason I spent over 10g's building a 650 horsepower motor but refused to change to a standalone...

I already spent enough #1. #2, I don't need the extra functions :P

Congratulation's!!!! I have seen that car around esquimalt for a while......looks good! You should bring it by the Timmies on fridays for the revscene meets at 10:00 pm

First thing i would do is get rid of that irridium garbage and put simple copper plugs. "IMO" they work a hell of a lot better and give much less problems #2 keep the car running around 400 hp for a while. i say clean it up make it look good and a bit more responsive. just appreciate the power and technology of the stock RB26 for now and get a good understanding of the way the car works and handles itself. Then afterwards when you know a lot more and what kind of goals and project your looking for move on to the big numbers where you will be happy with the choice you make in the end. And just a side note lol get used to the attention...your gonna enjoy it for the first couple of months then your just gonna get annoyed lol good luck and happy racing!

You're on crack....Iridium is better than copper....What problem does iridium cause vs. copper? I think this comment takes the cake for bad internet advise:hit newb:
